More About Coach Gavin

I am a sports chiropractor and USATF certified running coach. I specialize in injury prevention and return-to-run training. I have 4 years coaching experience working mainly with new runners and previously injured runners. Sessions include a combination of form analysis, technique coaching and strength training to get injured runners out of pain and to keep healthy runners running!

I regularly compete in 5k-half marathon races. Also, I'm currently learning to surf!

Our initial session will incorporate a running form analysis and consultation to discuss your injury history and training goals. Based on your goals, the following sessions will be tailored and focused on helping you reach them! Sessions may included warmup/cooldown, injury prevention strategies, rehab, strength training, and speed workouts.

Client Reviews

My son (“K”, 17 y/o) & I were really pleased with his first session. We’re looking forward to setting up ongoing trainings.

###

Update as of 6/5/2018, and completing the 5th session of the package.

Coach Gavin and K have worked hard to shave almost 40 seconds or so off K’s 100m time since his evaluation on 4/23, and bringing K closer to the goal of running sub 4-minute miles.

Full disclosure: K is a seasoned athlete, racing distances from 1600m to 13.1mi where he often placed, but he admittedly did not train even close to this level over the winter / early spring, so he had some conditioning to regain these past 7 weeks.

I will continue to book Coach Gavin as the proof of his effective training methods are more than evident on the stop watch.

gavin is a great coach !

Coach Gavin offered very helpful advice as I return to running after an injury. He gave me recommendations for how to improve my stride, strength training exercises, and a plan for increasing my weekly mileage moving forward. I am confident that his coaching will help me get back to the level of training and competition I desire.

I met with Coach Gavin today and was impressed. We talked about my issues and possible causes and then he put me through some flexibility exercises followed by a review of my running form. I was very happy with the personal attention and not just cookie cutter exercises to help with my running issues. I feel that we started on a great note and am happy with the plan we created together. I would highly recommend Coach Gavin and will absolutely continue to use his services.

I was training for a marathon and was having trouble with my calfs and tight hamstrings. We worked on my form and strengthening exercises for a few weeks to get me back to running pain-free.
I came in with a running injury and after about a month, I was able to run well enough to win 1st place at a 10k race! If you're an athlete looking to further your performance or heal from an injury, go see Gavin!
